How many kids in the world in poor countries have jobs?

As of recent estimates, around 160 million children are engaged in child labor globally, with a significant portion in low-income countries. Many of these children work in hazardous conditions and are often employed in agriculture, mining, and informal sectors. The prevalence of child labor is driven by factors such as poverty, lack of access to education, and economic necessity for families. Efforts to address this issue focus on improving educational opportunities and enforcing labor laws.
